Anna, I think you comfuse TV and reality… I actually like Addison a lot, I believe she’s the most honest of the three female characters of the show, and she’s my favourite, but even if you don’t like her character, that has nothing to do with Kate her self…She is ACTING! She’s not Addison! Anyway, even if you like Violet better, still Kate Walsh is way prettier than Amy Brenneman in my opinion…
